Two Pages For One Work: Cry Baby

It looks like there are two works pages for the 1990 movie Cry-Baby. One is at Cry Baby and has 10 wicks and 6 inbounds. The other is at Cry-Baby and has 7 wicks and 6 inbounds. From what I can tell, "Cry-Baby" with a hyphen is the correct name for the movie so I think it should be the main page and Cry Baby made a possible redirect, especially since Cry-Baby has more examples on the page and has a Crowning Moment of Funny page. The best course of action may be to make a new Film/Cry-Baby page so it can be on the right namespace.

I would be willing to move everything to a film namespace at Film/Cry-Baby, but I wanted to check to make sure it was alright to make that move before doing so.

The whole thing should be moved to Film.Cry-Baby. Leave the others as redirects for now.

As far as I know, moving works to the appropriate namespace is a free launch. At least, I haven't bothered to ask anyone the two or three times I've done it. If I've been violating some important rule, please let me know!

Speaking words of fandom: let it squee, let it squee.

Xtifr,

I wanted to be extra careful since there were two pages for the one work and because I was unfamiliar with it. I think you are right about moving wicks to the correct namespace in general though.

Looks good. Thank you, Louie. All you missed was setting the page type on the new page. so that it would look for the crowning moments.
